I'm so frustrated with my new Fox 2.5s.

Nah just making a special exception for you

 

And this gentleman is what the ignore function is for.

 

I suggested that a while ago, Patton said he read 'a lot' of posts on here saying that that size tire is unbalancable.

Also, it's been a while since we saw a reference to air conditioner installation. Wonder when we'll see that again.

 

Is this what you were looking for brother? There’s two of these. I have no idea what they are and what they do but it’s the only thing I can find under the truck that looks remotely like the picture the guy posted up above. Thanks man.

 

I hear what you’re saying. I’ll probably only ever use my suspension a few dozen times but I really like the way the truck looks and that’s important to me. I think it’s cool.

 

Which of those is front and which is rear?

 

This one is the front on the front drivers side.

 

Let's see rear on same side

 

Great looking truck! I wish I could help but you seem to be getting information from people with both knowledge and experience. If it weren't for your issue I wouldn't have the chance to read the information being shared in this thread which to me is very much worth hearing and thinking through

 

Yes there are some really great guys here helping me and of course this info is undoubtedly helping others now and in the future. I just put the trouble makers on the ignore list.

 

Yeah you and some other people suggested the 33x10 route and this was the general's response:

He concedes they won't rub, but look too weird for him.

Edit for more context:

 

Your cams are pushing your tire back. They are pretty much backwards from how they should be

 

Easy fix?

 

Yeah. The front cam should be turned so the bolt is all the way in. The back cam all the way out. It will push your tire forward like 2 inches.

 

I very much now remember having this conversation with my service advisor at Toyota. I asked him to have the technician push the wheels forward (adjust camber) as much as possible. He had a technician come into the waiting room to speak to me. Now this tech was an old man but of course that doesn’t really matter. Both the tech in the advisor informed me that the wheels were as forward as they could go without being a problem. Now believe me when I say I have no problem if you come back with, “those guys are full of crap and don’t know what they are talking about” because I have discovered that most lift shops as well as parts distributors have people that don’t know what they are talking about. If they all did know what they were talking about I wouldn’t have had all these challenges. There are plenty of people on this forum that have no idea what the hell they are talking about also. Most of those guys come in threads like this and say some discouraging smart ass remark and don’t help. I’ve had to block several of them now. So let’s go down the list of people that I’ve talked to about the situation and either didn’t bring up camber or told me it was as far as it could go.

1. Two very cool guys I met on this forum here locally in the Tampa area. I had them do the cab mount shop, viper cut and some other cutting. They obviously had my front wheels off and said nothing about adjusting camber.
2. The truck shop in Jacksonville who totally f’ed up my install of the Fox 2.5 shocks. That was a complete disaster. They did a somewhat decent job installing the shocks and leaf springs they just did not adjust them to the right height. They said absolutely nothing about camber as to whether it could be adjusted more.
3. My local Toyota service center. These guys are pretty cool but there knowledge of wheels, tires and lifts is very limited and I can understand that. I specifically talk to these guys about camber and as I informed you above they told me it was as forward as it could go. All ever do a bad ass alignment and fixed the pull I had from the Jacksonville lift shop.
4. 4 Wheel Parts Tampa. These guys fixed all the problems created by the Jacksonville lift shop and also said camber could not be adjusted. They had a disaster us alignment and once again I had to bring the truck back to Toyota to get that fixed. I have free lifetime alignment with Toyota. I contacted 4 Wheel Parts Tampa to see if they would give me my money back and I pay for the alignment and that’s a no go.
5. Roam Overland Outfitters. Here is a local shop in Tampa I just found. I really like this guy. I brought my truck to him and he fixed the vibration issues I was having with all the tires and the alignment. He’s also going to put hood latches on the bad ass carbon fiber hood I bought. I will share with him your input on Monday and let him know that you say I can push the tires forward up to 2 more inches with camber adjustment. I will share with him the pictures I shared with you. I’ll get back to you as to what he says.

Obviously if I can move these wheels forward two more inches all my problems are corrected. Hell I could even go back to the original Fox 13 inch 600 pound springs and lower the truck one more inch at that point. The only part I’m confused about is why did all the shops not notice I can do this? No one else on this forum really talked about it either until you came in and asked for pictures. Now you can pretty much see why I am convinced this is not an exact science and regardless of all that chest pounding from individuals here no one really has this down. Anyway please know I very much appreciate your input and help. I appreciate everyone’s input and help. It’s easy to block the smart asses and not read any further comments by them.

 

You're confusing camber and caster...

 

Wooo! Finally some answers. Caster seems to be the fix here. This thread has been a shitshow but entertaining none the less. Interested in the results after a proper offroad alignment shop gets their hands on the truck.
